CURTIS! IT’S THE LEAK!

50 Cent - I Get Money

Aside from having an extremely honest album cover, 50 Cent really intrigues me. Not only has he managed to release two great albums, get great endorsements with Vitamin Water, he has also turned himself into quite the celebrity, keeping his name in the press by making the risque appearance in the Ciara video, as well as just saying whatever to whomever he wants. Regardless of what anyone says, 50 knows who is audience is and he knows how to appeal to both sides of the spectrum. Curtis, 50’s third major-label studio album, is a great blend of street-credible songs, and mainstream music. He used a wide range of production, from super producers like Dr. Dre and Timbaland, to little-knowns and newcomers, as well as a host of guest appearances ranging from Akon, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Young Buck, Nicole Scherzinger, Mary J. Blige and Tony Yayo. Although 50’s cocky, you can’t help but notice he’s got a reason to be.


50 Cent feat. Young Buck & Nicole Scherzinger - Fire

Besides the single’s 50’s released before the release on September 11, stand out tracks include “I’ll Still Kill” (as much as I’m not feelin’ Akon, I’d be lying if I said he doesn’t add something to songs), “Peep Show,” and “All of Me.” Make sure you pick up 50 Cent’s album on 9/11 and show him some support. Also, log on to 50cent.com or his MySpace for updates.

50 cent is truly intriguing. But I still believe he cannot sell without controversey swirling around his head. When he fisrt came out woth “Amusement Park,” he did not get the buzz he was hoping. Why? Because he was not beefing with anyone. Then he puts out “I Get Money” and started going at Lil Wayne and he start getting over 3000 spins a day. Go figure!!

What’s intriguing about someone who talks a lot of shit? Business savvy, definitely. Intriguing, not so much. I’m still looking for it.

Regardless of how well or poorly this album does this cat is paid enough for five lifetimes. What is he still trying to prove? That right there tells me a lot. Money ain’t everything, huh Fif. Now the goal is staying relevant and respected.

Ooowee - how does a man just sound sexy like that? I’m talking about Buck’s foine ass! But that song is synthesizer hell, so I don’t really like it, but can’t knock the hustle. I do like Kanye, but it doesn’t make me dislike Curtis. Curtis makes me not like Curtis - his music I mean…But neither one cares what we think anyway! Ha! Make that money black men!

This is crazy!

Wednesday, September 5, 2007 /

Instead of arguing over which album to purchase 50 Cent or Kanye West maybe our generation should be concerned over who to vote for in the presidential election next year. That really affects our lives!

I really don’t get it. We care way too much about two millionaires that got rich off of your purchases and the funny part is you people are arguing over WHO TO MAKE RICHER next week. This is crazy!

The music industry is a business just like Home Depot, McDonalds, Coca-Cola, etc, etc. And nowadays blacks don’t support black music anymore UNLESS it’s a beef or controversy. So I can’t blame them for driving a wedge between you. They are doing what is sooooo easy to do in the black community split us apart and for what? 50 Cent or Kanye West. {Remember Tupac and Biggie–this is crazy!}

I like both artist for their ability to dream and accomplish their goals (i.e. Vitamin Water and GOOD Music). They have entirely two different target markets. Meaning if you like 50 Cent you probably really like him and don’t care for the other and if like Kanye West you probably really like and don’t care for the other then you have your people in the middle who just respect their hustle (me).

So maybe we should support our black men for what they doing right instead of arguing over how we HATE OUR OWN PEOPLE. Let’s talk about who we are going to support for something that really matters in the world like Healthcare, After School Programs and the War in Iraq.

In the club “I get money” gets the whold crowd on the dance floor. In fact any 50 song has the club, basement party and block party jumping.

Plus, 50 is very sexy. He is very Manly which i find very sexy. Nothing femme about him. yummy.

The album is garbage, I only put it on to listen to track #1 and it’s an intro. Kanye’s Graduation on the other hand is the truth, I don’t have to press skip at all but I’m constantly pressing the previous track button to run songs back.

I think 50’s new album is better than The Massacre. The Mary Joint, The Em joint & the Dre joint are outstanding. I think Kanye made 50 step his game up. I will support 50’s & Ye’s album.

44.

Josh

Wednesday, September 5, 2007 /

can we please all by Kanye’s album on the 11th, if for no other reason to see if 50 will stick to his guns and not make another album. Dose he need to? His songs will be about 3 things
1) what I got and what I do with it
2) who I got and how I do them
3) shooting.

That’s it.

I hate to say it ya’ll but I listened to both albums lastnight and as much as I can’t stay that nuvcca Kanye, I liked his album better :( . 50’s album was just a little TOOO violent for me, I guess I just can’t relate. No that I can relate to Kanye’s more, but over all it just put me in a better mood than 50s.

Only People Hating Are Kanye Fans And 50 Cent Haters. Like Katt Williams Say, You Suppose To Have Haters That Let You Know You Doing Something Right Lol. You Cant Deny Good Music 50 Cd Is A Hype Cd That You Can Bump In Yo Car Or At A Party, Club, Ect. Kanye Is A Cd You Nod Ya Head To And Get Something Out Of. They Got Two Different Styles. Thats Like Comparing Talib Kweli And Lil Wayne Lol Come On Now. But 50 You Got Support Here Sweety F Yo Haters. I Hope Ye Do Good Too But I Want 50 To Out Sell Him.

Kanye’s album is better!!! Nouf said on it! How come ppl think just because 50 cent has “sold” more albums than Kanye, that it makes him better or “hot”??!!! You have to think about who’s buying these albums and I assure you it’s definitely not true hip hop peeps (it’s those white boys) cause we all know that all 50 did was talked about Ja Rule until he fell out of the limelight, stole his rapping style which is basically singing and singing about women (like he’s LL Cool J but trying to be hard/hood- we don’t believe you 50!)
So, please stop saying, “he’s hot, look how many albums he sold!”. He probably purchased a million of his own….

I am so mad at Brian with his album reviews. I have checked out both albums and I hate 50 cent. His album is so typical form 50 cent. The same thing as the last album and it sucks. All his beats are the same and i cant stand it. He raps about the same things as well. BORE. Then I notice that Brian’s review for the 50 cent album was longer then the Kanye West interview. I love the Kanye album and I will be purchasing the album on September 11th. Kanye is the king of Hip Hop right now. I love the songs:

Big brother
Bitter Sweet Poetry
Good life with T-Pain and some others… Kanye is the best screw 50 cent…

Why all the hate? Dayum. No matter how much hate you’ll spew on this post the man pockets are way longer than Kayne’s. Is that the reason for the hate? I read some of these posts and I thought that I was going to be disappointed when I listened to his songs b/c most of you’ll were talking like it was straight garbage. I listened and I liked. 50 do you boo. Or should I say CONTINUE to do you and make that cheddar. Now I can’t front. I like 50 but I will not be buying his nor Kayne cd.

“support 50″ Brian sorry but I can’t support him. I’m tired of his mouth and always trying to start stuff with everybody and then putting Ciara out there. If I like the sound of any of his songs I’ll be getting them from Limewire.

I bought Kanye’s CD though.

WOW, its funny how many ppl really buy into 50’s hype, one its shallow music with no meaning, he is not doing anything for the “game”. yea he is a smart business man but he is getting rich off of all his “stupid a** supporters”, they are putting so much into a person that only doing enough to keep getting your money. wack is right, sounds like a bunch of old tracks that beats and lyrics were revamped just a little bit, his cover is wack, kanye’s cover is better(be honest) music really has a meaning, which our culture really need so that we can stop being looked at badly. the only reason y 50 did sell more is becuz Kanye did not hold any beefs wit any one plus ppl were to ingorant to Comprehend Kanye’s music read a book ppl.
P.S and yea he is not all that because all of his record sales have been falling 12 million, 11 milliln……………..ummmm lets take a guess this time 8 million
